2017 Momentum iNeed Street

Momentum's Street combines classic touches with a fun ride and nice functionality so you can explore your city in style. A lightweight aluminum frame and easy-rolling 700c aluminum wheels let you get up to speed quickly and carve the corners. The super-comfortable upright riding position provides an excellent view of the road ahead. You'll also love the easy gearing for cruising up the hills and the powerful brakes for speed control on the way down. Whether you're headed to work or to meet for tapas, the color-matched fenders and chainguard protect your clothes. Plus, you get a convenient U-lock carrier (lock sold separately), a built-in cup holder, bell, kickstand, and a rear rack.

This bike makes me look for reasons not to use my car. I've logged 1000+ miles since May 2017, starting with the 5 boro bike tour. This bike is a great ride. My only recommendation is to get a seat pad if you're going to do 42 miles in an afternoon. The saddle while stylish is not padded.

Before I ever bought a bike, I did some research and I decided what I did and didn't need. I wanted a commuter that could get me back and forth from work for a total of about seven miles per day. That meant that I didn't need 21 gears on my bike. However, there are always hills or slopes that create some "exercise challenges". I'm 58 years old and I'm not looking to do any 100 mile group rides. But a single speed wasn't going to work for me. So I knew it was going to be either a 3-speed or a 7-speed. The world of three speeds is quickly disappearing, so I started looking at 7-speed commuters. And then I saw it - the INeedStreet Momentum. Such a unique style; slim 700c tires; full aluminum one piece construction. And available for just over $400. I bought it about four months ago and the romance just keeps blossoming. This bike isn't for trail riding or road racing. It's designed to get you to and from your destinations reliably and with a little touch of style. The components are not top shelf. But they are from quality companies (Shimano gears/shifters; Kenda tire; etc.). If you're looking for a quality commuter that won't break the bank, but will get you some second glances, this is your kinda bike!

This bike is easy to ride and makes commuting or just around town riding fun. This bike has the built in drink holder and rear rack for storing items. I would buy this bike again in a minute. It is safe and easy to control and maneuver around town.
